We supplied generator sets for the Argelian state-owned enterprise, Sonelgaz, to operate in extreme temperatures of 55ºC

High temperatures are never a great ally for generator sets. Excessive heat affects the performance of their engines and as such, the correct operation of the units as a whole.

From 40ºC onwards, air quality is no longer optimal, gensets lose power and failures in the cooling system are frequent.

At Genesal Energy, we’re experts in anticipating these issues and we have the solution to prevent irreparable damage, which is why we design gensets capable of operating at peak performance in such extreme environmental conditions.

The generator set we’ve just manufactured for the state-owned gas enterprise in Argelia, Sonelgaz, is a prime example of this. The genset has been created by our engineers to operate in this kind of environment without any issues, and supplies emergency power to the 220 kV Boughezoul substation through a generator set which withstands heat conditions without compromising the delivery of power. Furthermore, it’s been designed to perfectly adapt to the installation and communication systems of the substation.

Antiseismic regulations

It’s a 125/138 kVA generator set capable of operating at peak performance at an environmental temperature of 55 ºC and, given the area’s terrain, of complying with seismic regulations, for which the structure of the generator set was reinforced to be able to withstand 0,4G.

Reliable 220kV Generators for Extreme Heat Conditions

  • Base frame fuel tank of great capacity.
  • Oversized power output.
  • Signal expansion kit.
  • Structural reinforcement and installation of special antivibration mounts to comply with seismic regulations.

Emergency generator sets for the Norwegian School of Commercial Diving, one of the most important diving centers in the world

/in , /by

At Genesal Energy we’ve designed a generator set for the Norwegian School of Commercial Diving, a big challenge as it’s a highly specialized and world-renowned center.

Diving centers are extremely sensible facilities where power is essential for their correct operation, as power must not run out for many of the pieces of equipment needed on board of the vessels, from the lighting to the cooling chambers.

Founded in 1989, more than 2.500 divers have trained in the school, one of the most important in the world, and its courses are internationally renowned. It’s located in Nesodden, in the south of Oslo, and possesses the ideal conditions for scuba diving. Furthermore, the facilities are also used by the country’s students, with more than 10.000 dives by students each year.

Anti-condensation heating

The emergency open type generator set designed by our engineers features a 40/44 kVA Kohler engine, and its mission is to provide power to the center’s vessels.

The generator set possesses an anti-condensation heater in the alternator to avoid corrosion in the windings.

The whole design and production process was verified with the client, whose needs were very precise. The generator set had to provide power to guarantee the correct operation of the lighting, cooling chambers and the rest of the equipment on board.

The generator set has been manufactured to withstand the area’s low temperatures.

Other features of the generator set

  • 200 litre base frame fuel tank.
  • Anti-condensation heating on alternator windings.
